I will be seeing him this weekend in DC so I will ask him about that. I noticed that he seemed to be out of a lot of it too. He recently opened up two pop ups in DC so he might be more focused on that right now. But I will get back to you early next week after talking with him this weekend.

Sounds good, will probably get one. Thanks for the idea. rateful1 - My balcony has a slab of concrete on the bottom, would I still need to lay something down? I am assuming you figured I had slats of wood on the bottom. The balcony is basically built into the building so I think a heat lamp...

I am thinking about purchasing a heat lamp for my balcony. I live in a condo in Northern Virginia and have a balcony that is about 8 by 15 ft. It is the only place that I own where I can smoke but it is just too cold to enjoy a smoke for very long out there. I would like to get a relatively...

http://vigilantecoffee.com/ - for all you coffee enthusiasts that want to try something different. This is the coffee company of a friend who I grew up with in Southern Virginia. His company brings and sells coffee from a few different parts of the world including Guatemala, Columbia, and...

Yes, that is a good point. I like to be able to walk by and check the rh which I couldn't do without the glasstop, without opening it. I haven't had any problems with it since I sealed it. I also think some of my worries might have been my impatience with the seasoning process.

Yes, I actually wrote that down yesterday when looking at short cigars. Look forward to trying them. Thanks, again.

Thank you all for the help. I was thinking I might just do the journal thing from B&N but use some of the criteria from the templates. Unrelated to the journal: I also want to find a few good short cigars to try. I want something that I can smoke in 30-45 minutes. I love to enjoy a longer...

I would like to start keeping a cigar journal with short reviews to go back to in order to see which cigars I have enjoyed and why. And I'm sure down the line to see how my taste has changed/evolved. I am very new to smoking cigars and have been told by many seasoned smokers that the best way...

The rh has been steadily rising since I put sealant on my humidor. It is up to 67 from 62. Thank you for the idea.

I picked up aquarium sealant from pets mart on the way home from work. I will try sealing around the hygrometer as well. I bought a digital hygrometer and have already calibrated it with the salt test. Definitely appreciate all of the advice and feedback. I will update once everything is...

Thanks. I am keeping them in Tupperware now and see the point of not wasting money if I dont have cigars to put in it anyway. I just figured getting a humidor for cheap that I could keep up to 50 in then I wouldn't have to worry about running out of room, at least for awhile. I will see what I...

Thank you. Well, I didn't spend a lot on it so it isn't the end of the world but I will see what I can do with it and hold off on finding a new one like you said. Here is what I got...

I just posted an intro. Thank you both for the suggestions. Sounds like I should have posted on here before purchasing a glass faced humidor. I will try the silicone to see if it helps and post.

Hi all, I am new here and new to cigars or at least to collecting and regularly smoking them. I recently bought a 40-50 ct Humidor with a glass top and am having trouble getting the RH up. I have a Boveda Seasoning pack in it now (for past 7 days) and the highest it got to was 65% but seems...
